- XRP Ledger recently surpassed 1 million AI-powered agentic transactions.
- Ripple expects that figure to reach 10 million, and potentially 100 million, within the next few years.
- The company sees AI agents becoming a major driver of onchain payments.
RippleX says AI-powered payments on the XRP Ledger are growing rapidly after agentic transactions recently crossed the 1 million mark. The company expects adoption to accelerate as AI agents increasingly make payments for APIs, computing power, data, and other digital services.
Ripple believes XRP Ledger is well suited for this emerging market thanks to its 3 to 5 second settlement times, predictable transaction fees, and payments-focused infrastructure. Most activity today involves AI agents purchasing digital services, though support for real-world merchants is already being developed.
Ripple is also helping shape industry standards through the x402 Foundation, alongside companies including Coinbase, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Google, AWS, and Circle. The company believes AI-powered commerce could become one of blockchain's largest long-term use cases.
